VERSE
i see how you make love and now im breaking out the mold
to tell the truth im done with the distance and the cold
confusion was the climate i dont wanna get involved
id rather write some raps and play the strings then hit the roads
coz you dont really love me, youre just getting over
someone else that hurt you, hope one day you get some closure
empty beds and sleepless nights i wished that we were closer
i know your world it shakes and all i wanted was to hold ya
steady but this doesnt work and i aint even mad
i know that love can hurt at times at time it makes you sad
at times it makes you tired, at times it makes you hopeless
you play with kings and queens and put your faith into these jokers
hocus pocus i thought what we had was magic
felt you losing focus my reply was automatic
send love and respect in the hopes that you would catch it and then match it
but the reality was tragic wasnt it?
Chorus
People come and go, my circles always rearranging
if you love em let em go, were not meant to be caged in
days fly by, and i revel in my ageing
coz im learning every day
Verse 2
To be clear you said that you wanted me here
and though the atmosphere was weird i tried to persevere
behaviour was irrational, maybe it was fear
that someone who would love you just for you was finally near to ya
and i was there for ya, barriers breaking
build a bridge communicating, walk it hand in hand explaining
the worlds that were creating with our thoughts and feelings making
a shared reality, emotionally and mentally, carefully
i appear to see a beautiful woman and shes chosen me, invoked in me
the desire to inspire lend a flame to light her fire,
mend her wings so she flys higher...
not everyones ready to feel the love, not everyones ready to lift
not everyones ready to rise above not everyones ready to shift
out of this gear, of self deprecating and hating and wondering why we exist
some will resist and persist to be living a life unforgiving and lacking in bliss
but you
you just gotta let them, go their own journey doesnt mean you dont respect em
paths be winding interwining at times im smiling coz im finding peace and love whilst travelling mine

Free World

Ive battled Shadow, but i dont wanna kill it
i believe we should embrace the Darkness in our Spirit
finding Balance bandaging the damage, might just take a minute
examine the challenge and manage the savage towards breaking all our limits
maybe i can help you with it, Hearts pounding so loud, the sound
is bound to shake the ground, so the whole planet can hear it
innit
dont you agree? coz its plain for me to see that its up to You and Me
but first we must be Free from those strangling our Minds
then break the chains that shackle Palestine, mums and babys running out of time
i wont provide new Life, in a world that is about to die
until its right, i dont want a pregnant lady having mine
you say its fine and it is what is is, i just feel bad for the kids
that left their homes in a ship
washing up on shore but unsure what is next, no friends
and barely any family is left
and folks here dont seem to see them as their equals
why are they called illegal when its wars that are lethal?
coz some guy controls the news informs our views and spreads the stress
profit from Death and mess then persecutes the powerless
Chorus
Free World cant you see, its up to you its up to me
Free World, under the Sun, got to make it work for everyone
Verse 2
If all you spit about is straps and packs of crack and racks youve stacked
even if its fact the fact remains, that shit is whack
dont care about the cash, or if the bootys fat
im just worried for my brothers coz the cops keep killing blacks
tell me how can i relax, everytime im paying tax
its buying all the bullets that their using in Iraq
and so i made a pact that the purpose of my raps
was to elevate my people help to put us back on track
or am i just a hack?
coz my conscience could be lighter
my flows could be tighter like a lyrical sniper
hit you in an instant from a distance to ignite ya
will the message only reach you if im the best rhymer?
coz the future could be brighter but its up to us to try
theres no one left to guide us, the worlds a web of lies
coz those that swore to lead us, protect us and to feeds us
are neglecting all our needs and theyve just left us here to die
Chorus

VERSE 1
I went home, back to my city
london town where its cold and its gritty
young men living lives full of stress
their whole life a challenge are they up to the test
the whole world lied said there’s more but there less
said the worlds in your hands but the whole worlds a mess
no rest from political depravity, the rule with apathy
so callously divide and conquer is the strategy
pardon my profanity, but fuck the royal family
there’s people dying on the streets
her majesty sleeps happily in palaces and mansions its a travesty
where is the humanity?
VERSE 2
all these mechanisms, systems of control
degrees to get you jobs so you can put your dreams on hold
relax just pay your tax and kindly fit into this mold
plus we’ve got drugs for when youre young and drugs for when you’re old
drugs for when you’re sick and drugs for when you’re healthy
imprison us for drugs unless the addict happens to be wealthy
and white and does his crimes in suits with fine wines
in pursuit of dimes am i lacking proof for my lines?
there are others that walk proudly and refuse to bend the knee
and would live free in a land, of unceded sovereignty
uncertainty will plague the years to come and i can see
we must stay rooted in our love and learnt to be

The Remedy

VERSE 1
Born in ’93, mum took me to bethlehem
my nans a fan of Jesus but me, im losing faith in him
The Holy fathers absent, loads of dead and no ones raising em
my brothers got some scars in tel aviv the yutes were chasing em
For being latino, for being illegal
xenophobia on stolen land is hypocritical
how can we be so cynical? its critical we change that
intolerance is typical its time to rearrange that
im far from biblical id hate to be a preacher
i aint hit my pinnacle theres a few things i could teach you like
this word can be so pitiful, oh so despicable
history is cyclical its Love that is medicinal
Chorus
I got the remedy, yeah thats right thats right X 4
Love is the remedy i take it every day
Love is the remedy in every single way
Love is the remedy we’re yearning for Connection
Love is the remedy in every situation x2
Verse 2
Love is the remedy, its a necessity
and i dont listen to the lies these heartless guys are telling me
selling me the dreams about the honeys and the drugs
money not the Love and the Truth is i dont fuck with that
Heart on my sleeve, i guess im stuck with that
hard to believe, im out of luck in fact
i see and realise that we can all just live in Peace
injustice, intolerance, hatred is disease but
i got the Remedy and im prescribing daily
a dose of “fuck yeah” hope my Heart never fails me
Life is unpredictable its all about the balance
one moment your invincible the next you’re feeling challenged
by your insecurities temptations of the flesh, actin fresh
but inside your a mess
its natural for wounded animals to show aggression
anxiety, depression getting sectioned and checked in
CHORUS
VERSE 3
A mi me empieza hablar la gente
dicen que no temen ni el diablo ni la muerte
porque sienten algo mas allá
y abrazan ya la fuerza de pachamama
y yo les digo no se enfoquen en el enemigo
mas bien pónganle mas atención a su vecino
muéstrele amor, muéstrele cariño
un pueblo unido jamas sera vencido
CHORUS
